Maryland

In the 1920s, a National Geographic reporter nicknamed Maryland "America in Miniature" because of its vast variety. Now, seventy years later, the state remains a study in contrasts, offering mountains and seashores, big cities and fanciful villages. The state is a hotbed for history; historic sites for both the American Revolutionary War and the Civil War abound, and the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis draws millions of military enthusiasts.
In 1608, Captain John Smith arrived from England, and in 1631 William Claiborne established a fur-trading post on Kent Island, the first English settlement in the upper Chesapeake.
Maryland's colonial history dates to the days of King Charles I, who promised George Calvert, the first Lord Baltimore, a colony north of Virginia. Before he arrived, George Calvert died; his son, Cecilus, became the second Lord Baltimore and settled the colony. It was he who named the area Maryland in honor of Charles' wife, Queen Henrietta Maria.
Our Maryland car transport drivers tell us that eastern Maryland is mountainous, with plenty of outdoor activities like boating and hiking. Central Maryland is home to the capital, Annapolis, and Baltimore. The Capital Region is so named because of its proximity to Washington, DC. Southern Maryland is steeped in history--it's the site of the state's original capital in historic St. Mary's City. The Eastern Shore is known for its seafood--Maryland crab cakes, to be exact--and its many water activities.
